If it has been regularly greased and everything is free, check for broken springs. If they look good the shock is probably the problem.

try checkin theses, my guess is its a combo of a few of them.

1) check shocks, u should not be able to compress shock by hand. Should be rebuilt about every 1000 miles to truely stay on top of performance.

2) check the block on the back side of the spring (short end) see what setting its on. If u can adjust the triangle shaped block to a higher setting

3) check the front block of the spring, is it worn down to the bolt? needs changing.

4) limiter straps too tight in the front? adjusting it can add to some pushing/darting issues.

Had that problem once when it was nasty cold out. Hair dryer on the shock fixed my problem.

Had the same problem this year. I replaced the springs. Works fine now.

I bet its a frozen shock. If you have rebuildable shocks they need to be rebuilt, If not you need a new shock.

Just a heads up, if you aren't sure whether or not your shocks are rebuildable, don't just take them to a dealer. I had to rebuild both of my front shocks last week, and called a dealer in the south metro for a price. They told me the shocks were NOT rebuildable and that I would have to buy two new ones at a cost of $746.00. I laughed and hung up, called a fella I found on the internet, and had them rebuilt 2 days later at a cost of $80.00. Part of the shock was damaged or it would have only been $50.00.
